Winston's War by Michael Dobbs
Winston Churchill is at the lowest point of his career. He has spent a decade in the wilderness, ignored, reviled, branded a warmonger. The next morning, a despondent Churchill receives a visitor at Chartwell, a BBC journalist named Guy Burgess, and the course of his career turns. This book presents a novel exploring his remarkable journey.
'A thriller writer with a marvellous inside track knowledge of government' Daily Express 'Dobbs makes of Churchill's wilderness years a cracking good political drama to curl up with. Not least because, controversially, the author presents an insalubrious young Guy Burgess as a key player in the statesman's return to power.' Bookseller -- star choice
For two decades, Michael Dobbs has been at the right hand of political controversy. He was at Mrs Thatcher's side as she took her first step into Downing Street as Prime Minister, and was a key aide to John Major when he was voted out. In between times he was bombed in Brighton, banished from Chequers and blamed for failing to secure a Blair-Major television debate.
